Snow more misery

Another day, another snowfall.  As usual in the NCR, not as much as they predicted, but a misery nonetheless.   The long range forecast for the area keeps us below freezing with clouds and snow predicted most days for the next two weeks.  We are heading for the absolute nadir of winter and it's hard to gin up enthusiasm for work or play.  The continuous drumbeat of bad weather predictions is having a chilling effect on demand for fresh vegetables and the near perfect weather in the western growing regions is keeping a supply exceeds demand scenario in play.  If these cheap FOBs would translate to inexpensive prices at the store, there might be more movement.  However, the chains continue to hold the retail prices at levels which generate more profit per sale than should be the case.  Punxatawny Phil says six more weeks of winter, and yours truly predicts at least than many more weeks of cheap prices.  Stewed groundhog anyone?
